Bc 780 xlt

[ind224]

Can someone in Indy try 161.340 and see what happens. I have tried to find a birdie list for this scanner but no go. 2045 picks up CSX loud and proud BC sits and stares. Glad I only paid $65.

In spite of your "birdie", you still scored an excellent analog scanner good for mil-air, railroad & tons of other stuff!!
I've had my 780xlt for almost 12 years now and it still works great!

Oh yes,in this economy and especially at Christmas, cash rules. If the 2045 had alpha tags and 500/1000 channels.....

I live about 6.5 miles from the hump at Avon Yard. With my BC780XLT and a quarter-wave antenna on the back of the scanner, I can hear radio traffic on 161.340 MHz from the yard. No birdie. Might be something in your area causing interference that your 780 is picking up that your Pro-2045, for whatever reason, didn't hear.

It scans past like not a birdie...so I checked to make sure I was not in AM and played with the mode.
Bingo. Two FM stations at the same time when in WFM. Back on NFM and trying the attenuator HOORAY!!! Success!!
